Canterbury Breeders Show, 2010

As the show season for 2010 continues, the next show on the cards was for the South Island horses at the Annual Canterbury Horse and Pony Breeders Association Show.

Thanks to Vidhi Marshall for the following update, and the pictures.

Anne and a very sleek, fit and CLEAN looking Rosie [Rosebud] took the well deserved 1st place in the turnout. Same for the mare section, Rosie led the herd with a first placing with Rianna and Lady [Ladida] coming in 2nd and 3rd respectively. Albert had a hard time competing against himself but fought it out and came home with the best gelding sash. Then the foals: after some deliberation Aslan took the price with Ruby a close 2nd. The judge commented that both are very correct foals. The paced class was interesting, Rianna was beaten (just about for the first time in her life) by her filly Ruby and came in 2nd with Rosie taking 3rd place. The Supreme Champion sash went well deservedly to Rosie – congratulations Anne!

A great day was had by all, and congratulations to Anne and Rosebud on taking out Supreme Champion Haflinger Horse.

North Island All Breeds In Hand Horse Show, 2009

January 2009 marked the 6th year in which New Zealand’s Haflingers competed at the North Island All Breeds In Han Horse Show.  The numbers of haflingers in the country have certainly increased from the year in which Lee, Lorelei and Rianna made their first appearance at the show, competing against Clydesdales in the Heavy Horse section, as there was no other class for them to enter.

This year, for the third year in a row, the Haflingers were competing in their own class, and there were 6 Haflingers that turned out.  Suzzi, shown by Colin Reid, Lee, shown by Kelly Anderson,  Oo-La-La shown by Stephanie, a friend of Petra’s who was over from Germany, Rose D’Amour shown by Petra Matheson, Restless, shown by Simon Bell, and Lilian, shown by Dawn Millar.

A great day was had by all, and congratulations to Petra and Rose on taking out Grand Champion Haflinger Horse for the second year in a row!
